The Internet is a powerful resource. It helps many people with Yorkie questions on YT. There is no reason that power cannot be harnessed to easily find reputable breeders. |
In adopting a human infant would you expect it to jump into your lap within minutes of searching?
Living beings take time to be created and born, and searching for the right one.... wouldn't you expect to have to put in some time and effort? You're searching for a living being that will be part of your family for hopefully 15 or more years.
My college-aged kids bought me my current yorkie. They talked to and met ALOT of breeders. It was through conversations with reputable breeders who didn't have any puppies at that time, that they were referred to more reputable breeders. They spent hours making phone calls, driving to visit breeders, looking at sires & dams, asking questions and looking at alot of puppies. Admittedly, they were raised with a show-quality looking yorkie (though not temperament) from early childhood so knew what a yorkie should look like. They knew to look for AKC dogs, get a copy of the health guarantee, and even went so far as to ask for references of current owners of the breeders pups and also got vet references.
I'm assuming you're an adult....so if my then 18 and 20 year old kids could do the research and put the effort into finding a quality puppy from a reputable breeder, you should be capable of doing so to.
